His problem is not the competitions it is tax payers funding his competition. He even says he has not problem with Play it sports and others that have simulators that invested on their own. His problem is the city giving tax breaks to the completion.
Personally I don't blame him for being pissed.
IMO "Neutral Site" Regionals will change if UND becomes a #4 seed and hosts in Fargo and moves onto the Frozen Four. It would also help if the #1 seed is from the east. I don't think they would have moved away from hosting in home arenas if Holy Cross wouldn't have knocked off MN at the REA.
I Think if the so called experts wouldn't have messed up the river crest prediction things may have been different. If I recall they kept saying 49 feet, when anyone with 1/2 a brain knew it was going over that amount. Maybe time would have been spend building a long clay dike down belmont.
It should be there every other year. The West Side of the state has some nice facilities. Sounds like it won't be back until 2030, which is a shame. It was at NDSU 2 years ago and when I heard what NDSU charged to host the tournament my first thought was someone needs to lose there job over this. It cost the state a lot of money. The agreement the Albrecht's had with UND was the cost to Youth teams would be very minimal. Basically enough to pay for the cost of someone opening it up and electricity.
I see the Class B tournament is at NDSU this year. Kind of pisses me off that they are hosting again after what they pulled 2 years ago. Also NDSU does not even have lights. That caused problems 2 years ago when W. Fargo's game was set to start late on Thursday because of weather and it had to be moved to Friday morning. It was unfair to those teams having to play 2 games on Friday. Pat Johnson (West Fargo coach at the time) raised a big stink and suggested it never go back to NDSU because of lack of lights.
Form a North Varsity Team, a North-South Varsity team and a North-South JV team. North students are able to pay on any of the 3 and South Students are available for North-South Varsity or JV Team.
Western-Would be nice to see a new team win it and keep it with in the NCHC
BU-Hate Big Ten more than Boston, but not by much
Penn St - See Above
Denver- Hate Denver. Anyone but Denver and this includes the Rodents.
Bottom line she may have decided to enter the Portal before Mel resigned, but after the resignation she could have pulled her name out. She chose not to, she while forever be a trader and villain in my book.
As much as I hate BC, I hate Denver even more. A Bentley win would have more than likely meant DU would be back on the Frozen 4 with a win tonight.
At least that is the bright side.
